        Thanks for your response & coments.
          a.. Can you let me have the dimension from prop flange to engine
block of your redrive?

Yes, that would be 14.625".

          b.. On an Rv what is the normal prop extension length if any?

The earlier "fixed pitch" cowls (which I have) were designed for 4"
extensions.  All cowls are now made for the compact hub CS prop or 2.5"
extension with fixed pitch.

          c.. I mean to completely remove the scew gear & distributor or
crank
angle sensor

I assume crank mounted sensor? Very clean solution and will give more
accurate ignition timing but added cost.   Creeping increases in cost has
killed many a project.

          d.. The weight saving is a bit of a guess
        You may remenber I am looking for a direct drive for my Quickie
Q2.
        Clive

Ahh! That should work fine Clive but I would think the direct drive market
would be limited and make it difficult to justify the development costs.
But I enjoy seeing these ideas developed.  Best of luck with it.

Tracy
